Alfredo Roca Chardonnay Cosecha Tardía 2006. Chardonnay Late Harvest (White Dessert Wine). Unavailable on Wine-searcher.. Golden color is quite nice. Great tints—a variety of yellows come through, like the color of mulberries and sunlight. Great aroma—sweet raisins, mixed with a strong alcohol and spice smell. Very humid and...

Posted by Edmund in White Blend

Luigi Bosca “Gala 3” 2006 Viognier, Chardonnay, Riesling Bodega Luigi Bosca $27 on Wine-searcher Lovely golden color, with greenish tints. In fact, it’s probably my favorite aspect of this wine. Fruity aroma, especially of peaches and tropical fruits in general. Some vanilla and coffee are also present, but subtle. The wine is...

J & F Lurton Chardonnay

J & F Lurton Chardonnay 2008 100% Chardonnay $10 on Wine-searcher. 1 Vendor. Good Value Clear, but with lots of greenish tints. Smells earthy. A bit odd for a Chardonnay. Does have floral and tropical hints, too, though. Taste is refreshingly citrusy. Kind of a wet, quenching sensation. Smooth and very easy to drink. Also...

La Rural Trumpeter Chardonnay

La Rural Trumpeter Chardonnay Chardonnay Average of $10 on Wine-searcher for the 2007 and the 2008. This wine was part of a tasting in a bar, so I couldn’t find the year, though I’m positive it is either the 2007 or 2008. Numerous shadoes of yellow. Almost golden even. Quite nice. In the nose, you can find hints of pineapple,...

Ocucaje Wine

Ocucaje Chardonnay Peru Unavailable on Wine-searcher. This isn’t great. The color is golden, but it lacks luster and even looks dirty/muddy. Nice, fruity aroma to it. It goes down as smoothly as water—it’s that light. However, it lacks flavor and has very little length. You can get a nice puckering feel out of it, but it’s...

Tapiz Chardonnay

Tapiz Chardonnay Chardonnay $15 for the 2007 on Wine-searcher. $19 for the 2008. Note: This is a low-range “classic” wine made solely with one varietal, made for everyday drinking. I tasted it during a degustation at the actual Tapiz restaurant, so I was not able to see any bottles and mark down specifics, like year. It is...

Zuccardi Q Chardonnay

Zuccardi Q Chardonnay 2007 100% Chardonnay $17 on Wine-searcher. Only 1 Vendor. Keeper for Value What a lovely color! Just pops out at you! Foggy, with a slight greenish gold to it. Beauitful gold reflections. Strong, fruity aroma. Peaches, apples, especially sour cherries, with a nice freshness. Taste is fantastic for a Chardonnay:...

Los Cardos Chardonnay

Los Cardos Chardonnay Chardonnay $7-$10 for the 2007 and the 2008. I got this wine at a cheap restaurant in Peru (again, they don’t show the year for wines, nor do they bring out the wine bottles to your table), so I was unable to check the year, but I suspect it was the 2007 or 2008. The chardonnay has a dark, foggy, golden...
